Karim Benzema's Panenka: Pep Guardiola produced brilliant reaction

Karim Benzema‘s 2021/22 season will go down as one of the greatest by an individual player in the 21st century.

The Real Madrid superstar just continues to produce amazing moments and Tuesday evening at the Etihad Stadium was no different.

After scoring hat-tricks against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea in the previous Champions League knockout rounds, Benzema notched a brace against Manchester City to keep his team alive in the semi-finals.

Real Madrid lost 4-3 on the night, but they will believe they can overturn that small deficit at the Bernabeu next week.

Benzema’s first goal came when Los Blancos were trailing 2-0 and the first-time finish by the elegant striker from Ferland Mendy’s cross was pure class.
